[Omd] sending mail

[john.hollingsworth at sympatico.ca]

Hi Emily - good to hear from you. :) 
Went and saw Roger yesterday with Nick, another long-time friend of his. There's a lot of keeping spirits up and he really appreciates all the mail that he gets, so that's awesome. Somebody else from OMD will probably write you back He's going to probably be shipped off to Kingston this week. My understanding is that after about a month in Millhaven, they'll be sending him somewhere else in Ontario, TBD. We'll be planning road trips to wherever that is and maybe getting a crew of people together to stay nearby so as to get in a few visits within the week. Hopefully he will get day paroled by the end of 2011 or beginning of 2012.
Keep in touch - Velvet and I are having our baby very soon, and OMD's planning a benefit show/party for sometime likely in March that you should make your way down to Ottawa for. :)
Cheers, John

"We who do not seek power, only want the consciences of [the masses]; only those who wish to dominate prefer sheep, the better to lead them. We prefer intelligent workers, even if they are our opponents, to anarchists who are such only in order to follow us like sheep. We want freedom for everybody; we want the masses to make the revolution for the masses. The person who thinks with [their] own brain is to be preferred to the one who blindly approves everything.... Better an error consciously committed and in good faith, than a good action performed in a servile manner."--Errico Malatesta
